About Wolf Advanced Technology

At Wolf Advanced Technology (WOLF), we lead the world in designing and developing rugged, field-deployable solutions that capture, process, encode, and display embedded video for the most demanding military and aerospace markets. Founded with a commitment to innovation, our advanced products meet the rigorous standards necessary for mission-critical success, serving top defence contractors and aerospace leaders globally. Our key technologies include NVIDIA, Xilinx, and AMD processing units, which power our cutting‑edge solutions for AI machine vision, neural network‑based deep learning, and more.

Our high‑energy, results‑driven team thrives in an environment of rapid business growth and continuous innovation. At WOLF, we cherish a culture of collaboration where every voice is valued. If you excel in fast‑paced development and are excited by leading‑edge technology, WOLF is the company for you. Join us and contribute to groundbreaking, lifesaving, mission‑critical systems.

WOLF is on the hunt for a full‑time Program Manager, PMO to join our mission‑driven, cross‑functional team in Aurora, ON. This is a hybrid position, with an expectation to be in the office 3 days per week, along with the understanding that additional in‑office days may be required based on business needs.

Reporting to the Chief Strategy Innovation Officer, you’ll play a mission‑critical role in driving complex product programs from kickoff through delivery, owning timelines, deliverables, and cross‑functional execution across engineering, operations, and customer teams.

This is a fast‑paced, highly collaborative environment where you’ll sit at the centre of execution. You’ll work closely with engineering, sales, procurement, and logistics, taking full ownership of program delivery in a hands‑on capacity within a lean structure where you manage scheduling, coordination, and execution directly.

• Drive program delivery: Lead new product orders from initial requirements through to release, owning timelines, scope, and deliverables
• Build execution plans: Develop detailed project schedules, resource plans, and program artifacts that guide teams through each phase
• Align cross‑functional teams: Work closely with engineering, sales, procurement, and logistics to ensure clarity, accountability, and forward momentum
• Own program communication: Keep stakeholders aligned on progress, risks, and key decisions across internal teams and customers
• Identify and solve risks: Proactively surface program challenges and lead solutions to keep delivery on track
• Track and improve performance: Monitor program metrics, adjust plans, and drive continuous improvement across projects
• Stay close to engineering execution: Engage with teams on BOM structures, component strategy, and schematic and PCB development to ensure requirements are fully captured
• Take full ownership of delivery: Step into a hands‑on role where you manage scheduling, coordination, and execution without relying on large support structures

If you’re ready to take ownership of complex programs and thrive in a hands‑on, high‑accountability environment, this is your opportunity to make a real impact at WOLF.

Your Edge

You hold a degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, or related engineering discipline, with 5+ years of hands‑on experience leading projects or programs within technical, hardware‑focused environments. You bring a strong foundation in project or program management, with proven experience building schedules, managing resources, and driving execution across the full project lifecycle.

Your background may come from aerospace and defence or adjacent industries such as automotive, computing, or embedded systems, where you’ve worked closely with engineering teams to deliver complex products. You are comfortable operating in a highly technical environment, with working knowledge of project planning tools such as Microsoft Project or similar platforms, and a clear understanding of how to manage scope, timelines, and risk in real‑world delivery scenarios.

What You Bring to the Table

• Project ownership experience: Demonstrated ability to lead projects end‑to‑end, including planning, execution, and delivery rather than supporting as a contributor
• Scheduling tools expertise: Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Primavera, or similar tools beyond basic spreadsheet tracking
• Engineering alignment: Ability to work closely with electrical, mechanical, and software teams in a hardware‑focused development environment
• Program execution mindset: Comfortable managing multiple responsibilities including scheduling, risk management, and coordination in a lean structure
• Technical environment exposure: Familiarity with complex product development involving electronics, embedded systems, or computing hardware
• Risk and issue management: Practical experience identifying, communicating, and resolving project risks to maintain delivery timelines
• Customer and stakeholder coordination: Experience managing expectations, deliverables, and communication across internal teams and external stakeholders
• Process and workflow discipline: Understanding of structured project workflows and the ability to ensure readiness at each stage of execution
• Industry tools and standards: Exposure to AS9100 environments and tools such as Omnify, SAP, or Power BI is considered (asset)
• Domain experience: Experience working with video, graphics, or high‑performance computing technologies (asset)
• Certification: PMP certification or progress toward certification (asset)

In this role, your ability to take ownership, drive execution, and operate confidently in a technical environment will directly contribute to the successful delivery of mission‑critical aerospace and defence programs at WOLF.
